Children arrive at a house to do Halloween trick-or- treating according to a Poisson process at the unlucky rate of 13/hour. What is the probability that the time between the 15th and 16th arrivals will be more than 4 minutes ? (Hint: Think exponential.)
a) e e-2 = 0.1353
b) e-13/15 = 0.4204
c) e-1 = 0.3679
d) 1-2-1 = 0.6321

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.4204 probability, option b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

[tex]f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = \frac{1}{m}[/tex] is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx[/tex]

Which has the following solution:

[tex]P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

[tex]P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}[/tex]

Children arrive at a house to do Halloween trick-or- treating according to a Poisson process at the unlucky rate of 13/hour

13 arrivals during an hour, which means that the mean time between arrivals, in minutes is of [tex]\mu = \frac{13}{60} = 0.2167[/tex]

What is the probability that the time between the 15th and 16th arrivals will be more than 4 minutes ?

This is P(X > 4). So

[tex]P(X > 4) = e^{-0.2167*4} = 0.4204[/tex]

So the correct answer is given by option b.

Answer:

(1,0) and (0,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Crosses the x axis

When f(x) will cross the x axis, the y coordinate will turn 0, so 0=-5^(x)+5, 5=5^(x) Which is possible when x=1. So (1,0)

Crosses the y axis

When f(x) will cross the y axis, the x coordinate will turn 0, so f(0)=-5^(0)+5, f(0)=-1+5=4. So (0,4)

The average of two numbers is 5x. If one of the numbers is 2x + 3, find the other number.

Answers

8x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Average of 2 numbers means add the two numbers and divide by 2

(y+z)/2 = 5x

Let z = 2x+3

(y+2x+3)/2 = 5x

Multiply each side by 2

y+2x+3 = 10x

Subtract 2x from each side

y+3 = 10x-2x

y+3 = 8x

Subtract 3

y = 8x-3

The other number is 8x-3

You flip a coin that is not fair, the prbability of heads on each flip is 0.7. if the coin shows heads, you draw a marble from urn h with 1 blue and 4 red marbles. if the coin shows tails, you draw a marble from urn t with 3 blue and 1 red marble. Find the following probabilities:

a. The probability of choosing a red marble.
b. The probability of choosing a blue marble, given that the coin showed heads.
c. The probability that the coin showed tails, given that the marble was red.

Answers

Solution :

P(H) = 0.7  ;  P(T) = 0.3

If heads, then Urn H,  1 blue and 4 red marbles.

If tails, then Urn T ,  3 blue and 1 red marbles.

a).

P ( choosing a Red marble )

= P (H) x P( Red from Urn H) + P (T) x P( Red from Urn T)

[tex]$=0.7 \times \frac{4}{5} + 0.3 \times \frac{1}{4}$[/tex]

= 0.56 + 0.075

= 0.635

b).  If P (B, if coin showed heads)

If heads, then marble is picked from Urn H.

Therefore,

P (Blue) [tex]$=\frac{1}{5}$[/tex]

             = 0.2

c). P (Tails, if marble was red)

[tex]$=P (T/R) = \frac{P(R/T)}{P(R)} \ P(T)$[/tex]

Where P (R/T) = P ( red, if coin showed tails)

                        [tex]$=\frac{1}{4}$[/tex]

                        = 0.25 (As Urn T is chosen)

P (R) =  P (Red) = 0.635 (from part (a) )

P (T) = P (Tails) = 0.3

∴ [tex]$P(T/R) = \frac{0.25 \times 0.3}{0.635}$[/tex]

                = 0.118

The function h(x) is quadratic and h(3) = h(-10) = 0. Which could represent h(x)?

1) h(x) = x2 - 13x - 30
2) h(x) = x2 - 7x - 30
3) h(x) = 2x2 + 26x - 60
4) h(x) = 2x2 + 14x - 60

Answers

Answer:

h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic is of the form

h(x) = ax^2 + bx +c

h(3) = h(-10) = 0

This tells us that the zeros are at x=3 and x = -10

We can write the equation in the form

h(x) = a( x-z1)(x-z2) where z1 and z2 are the zeros

h(x) = a(x-3) (x- -10)

h(x) = a(x-3) (x+10)

FOIL

h(x) = a( x^2 -3x+10x-30)

h(x) = a(x^2 +7x -30)

Let a = 2

h(x) = 2x^2 +14x -60

It means

zeros are 3 and -10

y=x²-(3-10)x+(-10)(3)y=x²+7x-30

Odd degree polynomials have branches that go in opposing directions which means that they will form an s-shaped graph.

Even degree polynomials on the other hand, have graphs that go in the same direction which is why they form u-shaped graphs.

A baseball team plays in a stadium that holds 58000 spectators. With the ticket price at $12 the average attendance has been 25000. When the price dropped to $9, the average attendance rose to 29000. Assume that attendance is linearly related to ticket price.

Required:
a. Find the demand function p(x), where x is the number of the spectators.
b. How should ticket prices be set to maximize revenue?

Answers

Answer:

We need to assume that the relationship is linear.

a) Remember that a linear relation is written as:

y = a*x + b

then we will have:

p(x) = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

If we know that the line passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d), then the slope can be written as:

y = (d - b)/(c - a)

In this case, we know that:

if the ticket has a price of $12, the average attendance is 25,000

Then we can define this with the point:

(25,000 , $12)

We also know that when the price is $9, the attendance is 29,000

This can be represented with the point:

(29,000, $9)

Then we can find the slope as:

a = ($9 - $12)/(29,000 - 25,000) = -$3/4,000 = -$0.00075

Then the equation is something like:

y = (-$0.00075)*x + b

to find the value of b we can use one of the known points.

For example, the point (25,000 , $12) means that when x = 25,000, the price is $12

then:

$12 = (-$0.00075)*25,000 + b

$12 = -$18.75 + b

$12 + $18.75 = b

$30.75 = b

Then the equation is:

p(x) = (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75

b) We want to find the ticket price such that it maximizes the revenue.

The revenue will be equal to the price per ticket, p(x) times the total attendance, x.

Then the revenue can be written as:

r(x) = x*p(x) = x*( (-$0.00075)*x + $30.75 )

r(x) =  (-$0.00075)*x^2 + $30.75*x

So we want to find the maximum revenue.

Notice that this is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient, thus the maximum will be at the vertex.

Remember that for an equation like:

y = a*x^2 + bx + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then in our case, the x-value will be:

x = -$30.75/(2*(-$0.00075)) = 20,500

Then the revenue is maximized for x = 20,500

And the price for this x-vale is given by:

p( 20,500) =  (-$0.00075)*20,500 + $30.75 = $15.375

which should be rounded to $15.38
